Brothers Run Marathon Daily for RNLI Rescuers

Surfing siblings Euan and Andrew Gray have concluded an extraordinary month-long running endeavor, successfully raising over £6,700 for the RNLI. The brothers undertook the challenge to express gratitude to the Cullercoats RNLI crew who rescued them from a dangerous rip current at Tynemouth in May 2025. Each brother ran a half-marathon daily throughout May, accumulating an impressive 406 miles each. Their fundraising efforts are nearing their £7,500 target and have been met with widespread public support.

Euan Gray, who became the face of the RNLI's national 'Float to Live' campaign, shared his elation and relief upon completing the final run. The brothers' courageous actions have transformed a life-threatening experience into a powerful force for good. Crew members from Cullercoats RNLI joined the brothers for their final run, emphasizing the critical importance of their fundraising and awareness-raising initiatives. The RNLI highlighted that the brothers' capability in completing the challenge underscores that anyone, regardless of fitness, can face peril at sea.
